Eyeglass Assistance

Improving sight is one the Lions Club’s most defining causes which goes back to Hellen Keller in 1925 (You can learn more about the Lions Club’s mission here). As a club, we help to fulfill this mission by collecting and recycling unused eyeglasses, screening children for eye conditions, and offering financial support for members of the Kittery and York communities to purchase eyeglasses.

Looking for Eyeglass Assistance?

We are partnered with Kittery Optometric Associates located at 99 US Route 1 Bypass, Suite A, Kittery, ME 03904. To request financial assistance in purchasing eyeglasses fill out the assistance form they will provide and mail it to the address indicated. We will review your request and contact you as soon as we are able.
